Cisco ASR 9000 Series System Configuration Guide

2
All the advanced Satellite nV network topologies are supported on the Cisco ASR9000v, Cisco
ASR9000v-V2, and Cisco ASR 901 Satellite types.
3
On the 10 Gigabit Ethernet Cisco ASR 901 AC model, 10G ports for ICL or access port is not supported.
Simple Ring Satellite nV Topology
These are the salient features of this topology:
•
A satellite or ring of satellites can be dual-homed to two hosts. In the following figure, all the three
satellites are connected to the redundant hosts Host A and Host B.
•
The two hosts communicate using the ORBIT protocol over ICCP.
•
In simple ring topology, the satellite chassis serial number is a mandatory configuration to identify the
satellite.
•
When the ring span is broken. the satellite and hosts detect the link failure using LOS mechanism and
perform the necessary switching based Dual Home management.
•
The link failure is detected by LOS (loss of signal) in the case of Ring and Hub and Spoke topologies.

For configuration samples of Dual home architecture, see Satellite Configuration with Dual-homed Hosts.
For a sample configuration of the simple ring topology, see the Configuration Examples for Satellite nV
System section.
